24.6.1 Chain Coupler Assembly
All unloading conveyors are equipped with a chain coupler drive assembly, which connects the output
shaft of the hydraulic motor to the driveshaft assembly on the conveyor. Periodically inspect the condition
of the chain coupler and components. Apply a light coating of grease to the chain coupler assembly to
keep rust and other contaminants from deteriorating them.

Knives
Every Jaylor is designed with a vertical auger that is equipped with knives for cutting material. To maintain
knives, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine, set park brake, relieve hydraulic pressure, remove
ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging.
3. Install new knives and tighten mounting bolts to their specified torque.
4. Keep knives in good condition. Replace if chipped, dull, or damaged in any way.
5. Knife sharpening is not recommended. Each knife has hardened surfaces on the upper side that
keep it sharp.
Figure 21 - Auger and Knife Assembly
Knife wear is greater on the knives located near the bottom of the auger than those found near the top of
the auger. To extend the service life of the knives, rotate the lower knives with the upper knives. This
way all knives will have a chance to wear evenly to a point where they will all need to be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Ensure no extra hardware and/or tools are left inside the mixing chamber after
servicing.
